Our big guy has this whole middle school thing figured out! 7th grade orientation at Hart Middle School was filled with Sups and fist bumps as Luke strolled down the 7th grade hallways. Mr. Golliday, AP, gave Luke a big welcome with a handshake and, "Hey, Luke!" Love that this place keeps filling up our boy with academics, confidence and love.
And well visits and school physicals for Luke and Elle. Here are their stats:
Elle 10 Yr. Well Visit:
53 1/8 inches, 25th percentile
61 lbs., 25th percentile
Luke 12 Yr. Well Visit:
66.5 inches, They said he's off the chart! 97th percentile is the highest they rank you....So, he's tall.
Luke grew 5 1/2 inches from his last year visit. WOW.

In Rochester Community Schools that is like a few thousand employees! Sooo, Ellie speaking in front of a few thousand adults...AWESOME. This was such a BIG invite and we are so proud that Elle was asked to give it!
